Lunar Prospector

 1998-001A

---

Lunar Prospector was selected in Mar 1995 as part of the Discovery program. It will be built and operated by Lockheed Missiles and Space Co/Sunnyvale; NASA oversight of the project is managed by NASA-Ames which also controls the probe.

The spacecraft is a spin stabilized solar-panel-covered cylinder 1.4m dia, 1.22m high surrounding a triangular inner structure based on the Iridium satellite, and has a hydrazine propulsion system with six Olin MR-106E 22N thrusters with total mission impulse of at least 239 kNs. Three booms unfold to carry the experiments, a magnetometer boom 3.8m long and two instrument booms 2.5m long. Mass is 158 kg dry, 296 kg fuelled. The spacecraft carried a special Celestis capsule with some of the ashes of lunar scientist Gene Shoemaker, who died in a car accident the previous year.

Launch was Jan 1998 by LMA Athena-2 with a Model 92 fairing (92 inch diameter) from Cape Canaveral's Florida Spaceport Authority LC46. It will be inserted in a 100 x 100 km, 118 min lunar polar orbit. The Athena-2 has two Castor 120 stages, an Orbus 21D Equipment Section Boost Motor, and an Orbit Adjust Module.

As well as the LP payload, Athena-2 carries a TLI stage. The TLI stage is built around a Thiokol Star 37FM (TE-M-783-7) solid motor and a Thiokol graphite interstage adapter. The TLI Stage is 0.17m long and 0.21m in diameter with a fueled mass of 1227 kg and an empty mass of 212 kg. (The Star 37FM has thrust 45.8 kN, impulse 2894 kNs and burn time 63s, with diameter 0.94m and length 1.68m). The TLI stage also has spinup motors which fire prior to LP separation to spin-stabilize the LP.

Launch mass of S/C + TLI stage is 1523 kg.

The neutron spectrometer will help in the search for hydrogen and water ice; the alpha particle spectrometer will detect outgassing events. 

In 1998 preliminary evidence was reported for substantial amounts of ice at the lunar poles.

End of mission in 1999 will have impact at 42E 87.7S.

According to Alan Binder's book on LP the TLI stage reentered over the Indian Ocean 'several days after launch'. First perigee may have been around 2030 UTC Jan 15.
